		<description><![CDATA[The good news is the micro helicopters are way better today and way cheaper.  Our friends at Xenonproject.com were kind enough to send us demo unit to dust off our pilot skills with.
Our unit is the S107G in red.  The little sucker is surprisingly well made.  The chassis is metal and the housing is a nice high quality plastic.  Our only wish here is that the gears were made of metal as well.
The other major improvement we noted was the blades.  Instead of being fixed and super easy to break, each blade can fold back and is made of much more flexible – i.e. damage resistant plastic than previous models.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So here is scoop...Charlie's only needs 1 tablespoon to eliminate oders and eradicate stains.  Stains like those found in a reusable diaper.  Yeah, sounds like my marinara and grease stains should be child's play for ole Charlie.  The word is there is no idea for fabric softner either so not only is Charlie's cheaper per load (only $0.13) but you save on not having to buy all the extra's like Oxy Clean and Downey.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Filed firmly under you can never own too many screw drivers...our current favorite is this Klein 10-in-1 model.  Bit Includes: No. 2 Phillips with 1/4" slotted, No. 1 Phillips with 3/16" slotted, No. 15 Torx with No. 10 Torx, and No. 1 square with No. 2 square. The reversible bit holder also works as 1/4" and 5/16" nut driver.  The rubber grip is a nice touch as well.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Certainly there are more expenisive vodka out there but typically you are paying for a fancy bottle and not a better quality liquor. By comparison Hanger One is about $36 for 750 ML where as Kettle 1 comes in at $22 for the same amount.  So here is what I do...Kettle 1 for a nice weekday cocktail, Hanger One for Saturday nights and Three Olives in the Goose bottle for guests.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Its time to update our flashlite recommendation.  Over the last few years the Inova T4 has emerged as our go to unit for several reasons.  First, is durability.  The housing is aircraft aluminum the has been hard annondized.  We have beat the heck out of it around the shop and in on the job site and they still look new.  Next is size.  The T4 is impressively small but still comfortable to handle.  Finally, we love the LED bulb that can pump out up to 175 lumens for 2 hrs before killing your battery.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have been looking around for a cheap but faster router for a few days and stumbled on the TRENDnet this morning.  It has something the company is calling "green" technology where as the router is smarter enough to know what ports are actually in use, devices are on or based on the the length of the cable run.  The reviews are great and the price is right at less then $25 so if you are in the market be sure to check out the whole line included a the wireless-N options.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is no secret that I have hearted the recent explosion of Lith-Ion powered microtools from manufactures like Bosch and Milwaukee.  The good news I am not alone in my admiration of these tools as they have proven to be a retail sucess as well.  This means the 2nd generation of these tools are starting to roll of out the factories bringing some much appreciated improvements.  The Bosch PS21 is a perfect example that you can no longer judge a power tool by its size.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What I find lacking in the service is the sky high monthly fees paired with the minuscule data allowances. 1 GB for $29 or 5 GB for $59 with a 1 year contract.  That is inline with the typical national wireless carrier aircard fees, but with the Autonet you are tethered to your car to use the service, at least with an aircard, you can use your data anywhere.  Plus the Autonet rings up at a hefty $299 after a $100 rebate.  Most aircards can be found for free after discounts and rebates.  Sure it sounds nice to be able to have 10 users on the "network" at any given time, but if you really need that functionality, the <a href="http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2346697,00.asp">MiFi</a> is a much better option.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One factor to consider are the accessories.  You can easily end up spending more on your add-on's then the camera itself.  That is one of the reason we like the Canon Speedlite 270EX Flash.  It small, but packs plenty of power, has a wonderful range of motion including swivel and a recharge time of less than 4 seconds.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What initially intrigued me about the SpeedFit product line was its versatility and portability.  Any product that can lighten the travel tool bag without compromising functionality is definitely worth a look.  That is where the rub lies, the SpeedFit's functionality.  It just is not professional grade.  Something that I found surprising, considering its Kobalt pedigree.  While a relatively new line of tools, especially when compared to Craftsman, I have found the brand to a worthy competitor when comparing professional/contractor grade durability across other manufacturers.]]></description>
